whats going on

so doctor prescribed me mirtazapine (remeron) , said to go see her if i feel too anxious on them, and said she will get me to do a questionaire next time i see her.
first 2 days i was drowsy and over eating. sleeping really well for the first time in ages.
now day 5 i am particularly happy ...have been like this for last 2days and im not tired, not sleeping properly again either..
now baring in mind that remeron takes a few weeks to work as an anti depressant, why am i suddenly feeling this way?
havent been like this in ages?
still anxious and irritable too

i took remeron about a year ago and i hated it. i never felt good. only tired and anxious. im really glad that so far you are having a positive experience so far and i hope it just keeps getting better

although it may take 14 days to act as an anti-depressent, it might be able to elevate a bipolar person's mood in a much shorter time..and I mean elevate not in the sense of reducing depression but in the sense of triggering a hypomania..my experiece of several anti-ds was that my anxiety went throgh the roof in just a few days.

I spent six weeks in the hospital following my overdose. I’m heading home now. I quit my job and will be going to intensive outpatient program. I’m just happy to be going back to my family. I missed them dearly

I remember how much I thought I had bipolar, I honestly still go happy sad happy sad happy sad every once in a while, not even realizing I’m doing it half the time. It runs pretty bad in our family, just any mental illnesses, really. My parents both take medicine, my mom’s bipolar and so is her dad, my grandfather. Things like that. I remember telling the doctor how my mood would go like that...
